Until a couple of days ago I used to modify /usr/texbin/simpdftex
to add a -dAutoRotatePages=3D/None parameter to the ps2pdf13 call.
I would change lines 488-497 as follows
if [ "${distillerfilter}" = "yes" ]; then
/bin/echo "### ${distillerprog} <${psfile} >${pdffile}"
"${distillerprog}" "-dAutoRotatePages=3D/None" <"${psfile}" >"$
{pdffile}" || \
{ /bin/echo "### FAILED to generate ${pdffile} (${status})"
exit 1; }
else
/bin/echo "### ${distillerprog} ${psfile} ${pdffile}"
"${distillerprog}" "-dAutoRotatePages=3D/None" "${psfile}" "$
{pdffile}" || \
{ /bin/echo "### FAILED to generate ${pdffile} (${status})"
exit 1; }
I made a TL updare (using tlmgr) this morning and noticed that some
pages were again rotated automatically. The /usr/texbin/simpdftex file
had been modified (updated?) and thus I modified the likes again. Now,
the result at the end of a compilation had become
-dvar=name requires name=null, true, or false
### FAILED to generate /tmp/altpdflatex.90958-1223061711/wurzel-
utalca.pdf ()
How can I turn autorotation off again?
thanks
